De Danaan uses only Organic Essential Oils and Vitamin E as preservatives.

Ceremony Sprays combine Essences with infused Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, and Essential Oils to create an aromatic ceremonial experience. They can be used similar to smudging to clear a person’s energy or reset a room. Alternately, as an offering to your alter or the beloved spirits. You can create small moments of ceremony everyday, or they can be part of larger ritual experiences dedicated to the moon, the movements of planets, or the seasons.

Essences are the energetic medicine of a plant, flower, mineral, fugus or lichen, as opposed to the biochemical medicine that is present in a tincture. The process uses sunlight and water to extract the energy, and then alcohol as a preservative. De Danaan follows the original methodology of Dr. Bach (creator of Rescue Remedy), but in collaboration with the wild of Orcas Island. Instead of brandy as the preservative, De Danaan uses vodka for its lighter flavor and energetic profile - to better access the energy and wisdom of each entity’s essence.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, and De Danaan Essences have not been evaluated by the FDA. Please consult your health care professional with all health concerns.

Essences can be worked with both internally and externally. For those who do not consume alcohol, you can place drops on your alter, your pressure points, or on the earth. For those who are able to consume alcohol, start with one dropper full either directly on the tongue or in a drink. Often the most therapeutic benefits are found from a pattern of frequent dosing for the first few days (3-5x per day,) then tapering off and reducing dosages over the course of a week. Also, it is important to check with your own body’s intuition with how much you need, since everybody’s body is unique. Some people can feel radical shifts from drop doses instead of droppers full. Each bottle contains enough for multiple seasons or journeys of healing with the Essence. Please contact me with any additional questions!

It can be hard to choose something energetic online; in-person intuitive decision making can feel more straightforward. Since your sense of touch is not an option online, I suggest looking through the pictures for each Essence (some have multiple) for a visual intuitive sense. This can help narrow down the options. Then read through the names and descriptions for your final choice. Or if you know you respond better to language than visuals for decisions, try the process reversed. If you feel like you could use some guidance with choosing, contact me for help! And if you feel drawn to more in-depth work with Essences, I am available for sessions!

Sessions are one-on-one explorations into which plant spirits are offering their guidance to you, and what wisdom they have to offer. Through Essence Sessions, we discover which blend of essences is going to be most supportive to your current journey, and then you are mailed the blend with dosage instructions. Through Fresh Bundle Sessions, we journey with a plant in relation to the current season, and discover how the plants who are leafing, budding, blooming or sleeping currently around us are sharing their wisdom in support of your current circumstances. Then you are mailed a fresh bundle to continue the work as it dries in your home.
